Come on...
This thing is old...
Oh?.. oh it's coming through! It works...ohhhh
Tweak this knob?... Slightly to the left...
It's going to the left.. I'm trying! I'm tweaking it to the left-
Whoa... oh, ohh!
So... If you can hear this coming through your speakers or headphones right now,
That means you've tuned into Skinny G Radio!
And I cannot thank you enough for doing so!
See... I've dreamt of creating a whole new kind of radio production
With these voices in my head I cant get out...
So I built my room for squares
Hand wrote my separation
Except I have others' self expression bleeding through my creations
It's a back handed slap,
For my perspective I can't define
It's my honest dear attempt to just dissect the reason why
It took me getting stuck inside my head
To be called out of my mind... Huh..
But music, it took my hand
It kept my clothing but changed my own brand
And one day, you'll get up off your ass to a song that you'll think is some band
But you need to understand with every sound, that it's me
A one man band making a symphony
Cause if I couldn't have you, I guess I'll produce the songs that'll make your hips move...
Let's build it now... drums
Cause if I couldn't have you, then I guess I'll produce the songs that will make your hips move
And We bring in the keys!
And use those horns to build it like..
These'll be the songs that'll make your hips move
Oooohhhh here we go!
Okay... Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait... wait!
Just wanted to drop this instrumental when it was really quiet before hand....
So.... Here we are....
Just stalling at this point
And we kick it in 3, 2, hips move!
Yeah, these'll be the songs that'll make your hips move!
Let's go!
These'll be the songs, these'll be the songs
Be the songs that'll make your hips move
Yeah see... I'm gonna say that every time it comes around
Just cause it kinda works with this track...
So if I couldn't have you, then I guess I'll produce the songs that will make your hips move...
I'm Skinny G
And this is the Skinny G Radio LP

Bouncing bouncing
Bouncing bouncing back to me (x2)
A torn love turned to shit,
As complications leaked out
My desperate ass had to ask
If I could still believe in "us"...
Said you, honestly don't know,
But need the space to confidently grow,
And in that moment I thought
You were freakin' nuts...
But I know (ah-oh-oh-oh)
That these eh-eh-cho (oh-oh's)
Will just keep bouncing, bouncing back to
me...
I'll be trying to split
Off this lingering doubt
These floorboards I built
Won't break beneath my feet
You see, I'd rather risk the fall
Than not have built anything at all
Even though a harness for my ass right now
Would be kinda nice!
Cause my walls,
Are truly the only ones that see my pain
And it's my fault,
I chose to be best friends with what's wrapped up inside my brain
But I know (ah-oh-oh-oh)
That these eh-eh-cho (oh-oh's)
Will just keep bouncing, bouncing back to me
(Rockin' on my)
I'm rockin' on my own!
It was that phrase that would start
All of these voices to my heart
(At the time I needed answers)
That push me forward when my glancing eyes start looking back
I'm rockin' on my own!
(At the time I needed answers)
It was that phrase that would start
All of these voices to my heart
(At the time I needed answers)
That push me forward when my glancing eyes start looking back
At the time I needed answers!

I'm running free inside a forest
My mind amuck out on these streets
Practically sleeping with a watch on
waiting to tangle your sheets
Since I can't, I'd say "fuck the rhyming...",
But there's something that we call timing
& ours, just hasn't seemed to quite line up...
You're gonna lead me, lead me out of this artificial jungle
Cause its native in the way your separate shadow, found mine
You're gonna lead me, lead me out of this fake nature we live in
Cause it's tribal in the way our separate pathways combined
Cause since I met you,
I've begun to see through
The sticks, the stones, the screens, the phones
Let's escape this fake nature for good
I'm too content when claustrophobic
& too impatient for fresh air
Practically sleeping with the lights on
to wake up from this nightmare
& I can't tell if I should hold on, or let him go
He's got these demons that shrink & grow
He's just not the type to wear them on his sleeve
You're gonna lead me, lead me out of this artificial jungle
Cause its native in the way your separate shadow, found mine
You're gonna lead me, lead me out of this fake nature we live in
Cause it's tribal in the way our separate pathways combined
Cause since I met you,
I've begun to see through
The sticks, the stones, the screens, the phones
Let's escape this fake nature for good
We gon' get out for good
Suga let's escape this fake nature for good
(cause since I met you)
You're gonna lead me, lead me out of this artificial jungle
Since I met you
I've begun to see through
The sticks, the stones, the screens the phones
Let's escape this fake nature for good

Ahhh okay...
Huh, Hmmm
Ahhh I don't know...
*PHONE VIBRATES*
Ugh my god
Not... not right now
Oh?
Yo can you shut that light off? Yeah that light switch over there
Thanks
Hoeee I feel something coming...
That single key on his piano contagiously ignites
A-couple hours on a poem he'll just think sounds cliché
She keeps calling & waiting, and while his phone keeps vibrating
His mind sprints on creating outrunning demons another day
But he can't help but think this song is another wall
That he has built tonight so he can ignore her (ignore her calls)
And it's probably out of his fear of giving somebody all of his love...
Again...
So he'll spend tonight being left in the dark
Yeah, he'll spend tonight being left in the dark
Ohhhh left in the dark
While her heart longs for passion she'll continuously fight
The idea that he was not the one to sweep her away
She seems alright, (she's alright!) well she's faking,
Cause the calls that she keeps making,
Have only added to the breaking of their damaged pathway
Yet, he'll spend tonight keeping her left in the dark
Yeah he'll, spend tonight keeping her left in the dark
Yeah he'll, spend tonight keeping her left in the dark!
Whoaaaa yeah! Left in the dark
Ohhh left in the dark
There's no end in sight, she knows
Ohh hey, left in the dark
Ooooo left in the dark
Left in the dark
(Leave me alone)

Tell em what they lookin' at!
Um okay... a little demanding..
S. G. Radio
Tell em what they lookin' at!
(What they lookin' at?)
Yo... okay well this is stupid hot...
No no we'll keep going, we'll just keep it going
Just loop it, you know?
Yeah, just let it run..
Can't you tell?
(Tell em what they lookin' at!)
We're just having fun!
Well, okay... we raise a little hell
Cause hope don't seem to disrupt what tomorrow brings
Can you hear that?
I hear these voices sing...
Na, Na-na-na,
Na, Na-na-na-naa-na
I hear these voices (voices, voices)
Na, Na-na-na,
Na, na-na-na-na, Hey!
These voices sing
Oh! Aw man!
Aw Paul please bring those drums back in!
Yup!
(Tell em what they lookin' at!)
Okay... I feel that you're tryna set me up for a verse right now but...
I... I don't have anything in me...
(Tell em what they lookin' at!)
Ugh... you're just gonna keep nagging...
Look,
I feel inspired today but can't find something to say
And hoo, that aggravates me in a way that I'll convey
As waking up inside a hallway where all the doors are closed
I'll bang and scratch to feel attached to what they might expose
And see I'll always throw a fit after each door I swear is it
But I'll continue down this hallway with an intent not to quit
Searching for reason, and for words
Guess some think that's absurd
These headphones could not cut out the opinions that I've heard..
Or concerns they just, "had to share."
And I know it's they care
But all I need's my inner circle knowing I'm the real nightmare
To pop industry itself, you prop me to my highest self
I made a choice I must be a voice you trust
Be a voice you trust, be a voice you trust...
Well that got away from me...
Yeah... Just, let it run
Na, Na-na-na,
Na, Na-na-na-naa-na
Can't you tell?!
Na, Na-na-na,
Na, na-na-na-na, Hey!
We're just having fun!
Na, Na-na-na,
Na, na-na-na-naa-na
We raise a little hell
Cause hope don't seem to disrupt what tomorrow brings
Na, Na-na-na,
Na, Na-na-na-naa-na
We up against the kings!
Na, Na-na-na,
Na, na-na-na, Hey!
Ohhh you hear that?!
I hear these voices sing!
Nah, Na-na-na,
Nah, Na-na-na-naa-na
(What they lookin' at?)
Nah, Na-na-na,
Nah, na-na-na-na, Hey!
I hear these voices (voices, voices)
These voices sing...
Few!
Na, Na-na-na-naa-na
(Na-na-na, naaa-na)
Tell em' what they lookin at!
Nah, Na-na-na-na!

These painted lips
Only cover up the evidence of your kiss I've lost in time
So if you glance my way, I'll look fine
These swaying hips
Simply move along a rhythm of the bliss you still deny
So if you look my way, I'll seem fine
Where there are leaders who will lie
There'll be traitors who will try
To break through such well built walls
To get a peak at what's inside
Ahh darlin, your secrets are no longer classified
Extra, extra
Read all about it!
There's a scandal that will surely corrupt my fantasy
Should I be afraid of what I foresee?
These painted lips
Are meant to leak out memories of a kiss you can't rewind
So when you glance my way, I'll look fine
These swaying hips,
Simply rock along a cadence of a beat that is all mine
So if you look my way, I'll seem just fine
Where there are leaders who will lie
There'll be traitors who will try
To break through such well built walls
To get a peak at what's inside
Ahh darlin, your secrets are no longer classified!
Extra, extra
Read all about it!
There's a scandal that will surely corrupt my fantasies
Should I be afraid of what I foresee?
Am I the only one who thinks there's more to this story?
I'll let it build until the pieces fit for me
Yes I still think there's much more to this story
But the pieces don't fit
Someone's hiding shit! can't you see?
Oh why-oh why can't the pieces just fit for me?!
They don't fit for me..
Should I be afraid of what I foresee?
Extra, extra
Read all about it
There's a scandal that will surely corrupt my fantasies!

Look,
My leading light that I followed
It only flickers now
The statue built in our name
Has crumbled to the ground
The symphony we wrote together
Has a tinny, corrupted sound
My heart is tired of being lost
But the bottom is all I've found
(The bottom is all I've found)
The shadows seem darker
When you're so used to the light
It hurts more feeling wrong when life was so right
I'm lonely with others and my heart gave up the fight
I guess I won't be rising up from the bottom tonight...
(Brighter)
The best choice of my life
Feels more like a sin
It hurts more losing love's game
When you're so proud of your win
The tattoo of our stories' ink
Is fading out of my skin
My mind is tired of forgetting you
But the bottom is where you're in
(The bottom is where you're in)
The shadows seem darker
When you're so used to the light
It hurts more feeling wrong when life was so right
I'm lonely with others and my heart gave up the fight
I guess I won't be rising up from the bottom tonight...
(Brighter) (Brighter)
The stars might not shine as bright tonight
But it's okay cause I'll shine brighter (x2)
The stars might not shine as bright tonight (x2)
But you know I'll shine...
Might not shine as bright tonight
(You know I'm gonna shine, gonna shine)
But it's okay cause I'll shine brighter
(Gonna shine, gonna shine brighter)
Stars might not shine as bright tonight
(Gonna shine brighter)
But it's okay cause I'll shine brighter
You know, I'm gonna shine brighter!
Shadows seem darker
When you're so used to the light
It hurts more feeling wrong when life was so right
(But you know I'll shine brighter!)
I'm lonely with others and my heart gave up the fight
I guess I won't be rising up from the bottom tonight...
(The bottom is all I found)
My mind is tired of forgetting you...
(The bottom is where you're in)

Your soul is adrift
Softly floating out along the sea
And in the presence of others you daydream so comfortably
Your storms can uplift
Wishful winds around tsunami
And your pride, it comes in tides when you feel anchored
Your soul is adrift
There's gonna times where you cry lonely,
And times where you bleed scared,
And times where your emotions drive your heart that's unprepared
Just means you cared, while growing up
I think you're gonna notice
That others have a hard time seeing past their own noses
It's out of focus, they don't care
It's their delusion fogs the air
But you have these cerebral currents that might take you somewhere
Oh, your soul is adrift
Oh, your soul is adrift
Drifting, drifting,
Soul is drifting, drift-
There's gonna be times where you hide loathing
An times you feel guilty
And times you're doubts will doubt the foundations of what you believe
Like waves, they'll leave, and come around
But it's no good if you ignore
That every daydream you are given is a key inside a door
To just explore, for something new
So don't think you got shit to prove,
You'll find as you float it's not about your own boat,
But your crew you don't wanna loose
Oh, your soul is adrift
Softly floating out along the sea
And in the presence of others you daydream so comfortably
Your storms can uplift
Wishful winds around a tsunami
And your pride, it comes in tides when you feel anchored
Your heart built you a lighthouse to always find your way back home
Your soul is adrift
Welcome to this void that you're living in
Where no darkness can escape your soul
If you're feeling separated
From all who think they've mated
With a life that they have under control
Then your soul is adrift
Welcome to this void that you're living in
Where no cool breeze to sway your mood
If you stopped, hesitated,
Took the path of those less jaded,
You've got oceans worth of life to gain without a compass in your shoes
Your soul is adrift!
Oh yeah, oh yeah!
Your heart built you a lighthouse to always find your way back home
When your soul is adrift
Ooo yeah, drifting,
Your heart built you a lighthouse to always find your way back home!
Ohhh your soul is adrift
Your soul, your soul, your soul
Your heart built you a lighthouse to always find your way back home
When your soul is adrift
Softly floating out along the sea
And in the presence of others
You day dream so comfortably
Drifting....
